She has entitled this show “The Artist’s View”. Her vibrant works, primarily in oil, deal with both landscape and abstract. Lois Shaw is from the Kawartha area and comes from a long line of artists. She worked as a technical draft person for many years and did works in oils, pastels, and glass firing. She refers to her works as “realism with a sense of drama.” Lois will present an array of her beautiful glass pieces at her show entitled, “The Nature of Glass”. Michael Amar has beautified the space in Gallery 121 on several different occasions with his thought-provoking works and authored book. His sculptural pieces, sketches and paintings have been presented in galleries in the Kingston and surrounding areas, including The Parrott Gallery.
